The Metamorphosis - Part 1

The Metamorphosis (1915) by Franz Kafka is a surreal novella that follows the story of Gregor Samsa, a traveling salesman who wakes up one morning to find himself transformed into a giant insect. As Gregor grapples with his new horrifying form, he is shunned by his family and isolated in his room. 

The narrative explores themes of alienation, identity, and the dehumanizing effects of modern life, as Gregor's metamorphosis serves as a metaphor for his declining sense of self-worth and his family's growing disdain. Kafka's unsettling portrayal of Gregor’s gradual loss of humanity invites readers to reflect on the fragility of human existence and the harsh realities of societal expectations.
